Suggestion: swc

Deno uses swc transpiler. Replace ts transpiler with rust swc deno plugin.

No that was a good question. I asked on deno discord about a transfomer option for Deno.emit, seems to have gone lost. I would like to use either Deno.emit rather than the ts module, so if that became a thing I’d gladly switch.

@shadowtime2000 A few reasons:

1. Deno.emit will bundle all resources together into one file. If there are multiple entry files that share dependencies, there will be duplicate code. I think a better way in browsers is to allow for code splitting explained here, which is not currently possible with Deno.emit.
2. Since this bundler supports different file types such as images, css and html etc., the correct output paths need to be injected, which is done by a typescript transformer. Deno.emit does not allow transformer hooks as of now.
3. Deno.emit does not use system modules anymore, though browsers do not yet support top level await.

But I am playing with the idea of using Deno.bundle if none of the upper arguments apply.
